> No, just no. Why is the MSM putting out constant puff pieces about this guy?

Just to be clear, this is the archive of a puff piece published on the Sequoia Capital website: they were talking up their book. They took it down when they wrote their investment in FTX down to $0 (from over $200mm). It was neither published recently nor by a MSM outlet.

Alright I’ll delete my rant. I thought it was after the news broke. Admittedly I only made it through a quick scan before becoming enraged.

It's fair to be mad.

There are hundreds of puffs pieces praising him in the MSM all the way till the day of the collapse, most of them VERY recently.

They are trying to shift blame and cover their butts.

The pivot now seems to be blaming CZ(the lazy China angle) for everything despite the obvious cause being the low effort diligence done by SV VCs and MSM themselves for recommending so many people into his trap.

Worst was how little oversight there was, Bankman Fried purposely deleted records and didn't hire anyone internally for simple tasks like accounting.

No surprise why, he was writing himself personal loans of billions while trying to bribe his way out of trouble both overseas and in the US.

Please, don't delete it. Even though you ended up ranting against a wrong piece of news (in terms of the timeline of events), your thoughts and takes on it were still interesting enough to ponder. And you admitted the mistake in a reply too, so people can easily see it.

Too late. I don't need frivolous defamation lawsuits at this point anyway.
